Highest Scoring Half
Predictions For Today

A highest scoring half prediction asks a simple question: will the first half or the second half produce more goals in a match? Every pick on this page names the half we expect to outscore the other.

We take the expected goals for the match and split them across the two halves using a fitted first-half share. A Poisson race then compares the goals we expect before and after half-time. A pick only publishes when the winning half clears a 55% probability floor with a meaningful race margin, the match is a genuine goal game, and the model fit is solid.

The probability is the model's chance that the named half outscores the other half in that match. A tie - equal goals in both halves - is a push and is never offered as a pick.

Historically around 44% of a match's goals arrive before half-time, so the second half edges it on average. Our picks highlight the fixtures where the goal split is lopsided enough to make a strong call in either direction.
